West Bengal labour minister Purnendu Bose on Thursday said there was a possibility of Dunlop India again opening the gates of Sahagunj factory

in the state.

"We are getting positive feelers from the Dunlop management that they are willing to reopen the company," Bose told reporters in Kolkata on Thursday.

Owned by Pawan Ruia, the tyre manufacturing company closed down the factory in 2009.
